Life Lessons from The Matrix

I've never seen the Matrix, but I assume a lot of you have. While doing some online research (really, do I need to qualify this with "online" anymore?), I came across a leadership conference video where the speakers took clips from the Matrix to create a platform for their points.

That's when I learned the Matrix is full of life lessons.



While I don't condone jumping from very tall buildings in an attempt to let go of fear, doubt and disbelief, I do condone finding what "tall buildings" you've let stand in your way and then changing your view to the truth of the matter: that they are merely hurdles- and hurdles can be jumped.

It is our mindset that is our biggest obstacle. Once we let go of the three dream killers: fear, doubt and disbelief, we understand that we are not faced with anything insurmountable in this life except death. So go live.

    Oh yes. Our mind is our biggest obstacle. This post is so true. I love the quote: Be scared and do it anyway. :)
